Beautiful as it may be, strolling through Ayutthaya under the beating sun is no walk in the park.

So, when you lay eyes on the white-washed, air-conditioned Prang View Cafe (www.fb.com/Prangviewcafe), you’ll almost feel like you’ve reached the gates of heaven.

Located right in front of the grand Wat Ratchaburana and Wat Mahathat, views through the airy floor-to-ceiling windows are stunning.

Must-tries are the refreshing Thai tea with salted egg syrup (B95), or its bingsu counterpart (B195)—it might sound weird, but the saltiness adds a nice balance to the sugary treat.
